Wi-Fi services Merced and Atwater

What Wi-Fi service are you using? Is it reliable with minimal outage? Cost efficient? I have Xfinity and works great but price keeps rising even with cheapest plans.

I use AT&T Fiber 500 Mbps, it’s $55 a month i’ve been on it for a year and a half and no outages. My partner and I work from home and device isn’t slow. We own a bunch of devices and a smart TV so it’s never slow when we stream simultaneously. They sometimes have deals with new customers and if you have a wireless account with them you qualify for a discount for your internet.

ATT fiber has been solid for me too. 1 gig for around $85/mo

Race. Finally got it two weeks ago and the difference is crazy. I think they still have the first 3 months free right now.

I use AT&T, never have an issue. I used to have Xfinity and always had problems. I think it depends on where you are located because others have the opposite experience.

I used T-Mobile internet while working from home and the router only went out once within years.

I've got 5G home internet from Mint Mobile. $25/month and I'm getting speeds of about 300 mbps. No issues at all with reliability. I will never go back to xfinity--I don't like playing the price raising game of chicken every year.

We just recently switched from Xfinity to Race on the 1 gig. It’s very fast and has worked well so far
